Spurious output white line in R script (PR#8631)
I don't see the bug here ... you may want to explain how this behavior conflicts with the documentation. As of your problem, see below.

I noticed that R scripts produce a spurious white line after output.
For example, the following shell script,
#!/bin/sh
R --slave --vanilla <<EOF
cat("Hello\n")
EOF
when made executable under the name ``hello`` along the search
path, behaves
like this:
$ hello | od -bc
0000000 110 145 154 154 157 012 012
H e l l o \n \n
0000007
The second newline is not wanted, and I would like if R was not
producing it.
If you don't want it, tell R to explicitly terminate in your script,
e.g. with quit("no",0) - then there will be no new line.
Cheers,
